A Sword Shadow like a shuttle stabbed through the air. Under Zong Shou’s guidance, it slashed from up to down, slicing like an inverted Milky Way.
A needle stabbed into the hole like quicksilver sinking into the ground. In an instant, this World Settling Seal was countered.
Shiyue was startled when he saw this and smiled bitterly.
“Blood Sword Monster Lord, the top of the Cloud World Sword Path, you are really worth your name. Shiyue has learned a lot today!”
When he said these words, many wind knives slashed down from all over.
It forced the blood-colored Sword Shadow slightly aside and then directly opened up a crack in the sky, bringing Shi Wuji out of the Cloud World without any intention of staying.
Energy shook the place where he stood before, sound ripples continuously spreading.
After a long while it calmed down.
“Shiyue is so strong!”
Kong Yao had been watching on from behind Zong Shou and at this moment he sighed, “The people of the world often said that the future God Emperor would come from those three factions within the Central Continent. However, I always felt that Shiyue was much stronger than those few.”
She also asked curiously, “Who is the person beside him? His bones are fresh and new and he has no cultivation, but was able to stand still and not fall whilst the two of you clashed. Such resilience and perseverance is really extraordinary!”
“Of course he is amazing! He is called Shi Wuji and has a deep relationship with Common People’s Path! This uncle and nephew are both extremely loved by the heavens!”
Kong Yao looked over in shock and Zong Shou smiled, “I got that from viewing the skies at night. It is okay if you don’t believe me.”
When Kong Yao heard this, she nearly burst out laughing, what viewing the skies? How could this fellow do something that even her father couldn’t do with the Wen King Divination Coin? He was most probably speaking nonsense.
She didn’t worry about him anymore and continued to meditate.
Zong Shou formed a seal and activated a Terra Word Spell. Along with his use of Spiritual Energy, the falling Heaven Reaching Platform seemed like time had been turned back.
It was recovered back to normal and there was nothing abnormal about it. It was as if it had been untouched from start to finish.
At this moment, it once again gathered Spiritual Energy.
Zong Shou’s arm shook, the Lightning Winged Dragon flew out from his body.
It changed, starting to swell up. This time, the heavens changed once more.
Hanxi, Little Gold and Xiaori all returned to his sleeves and started to sleep.
These four Spirit Beasts were all his Natural Protectors and were connected to him by heart.
Although the four beasts didn’t gain as many benefits as Kong Yao who Dual Cultivated with him, it was enough to let the Lightning Winged Dragon reach the Spirit Realm.
As for the other three, they needed time to digest the benefits that they received from him.
At his brow, that Spiritual Seed started to become restless.
“Zhao Yanran, that demon lady is actually facing her tribulation. So fast? She isn’t afraid that she would die…”
This demon lady was just Grade-9 before this.
Little Gold and the others have spent decades with him in the Book of Eon accelerated space.
Zhao Yanran didn’t even have a single bit of accumulated attainments.
Even if she relied on the large amounts of True Qi from him entering the Late Spirit Realm, she was taking a huge risk.
This woman had followed him from so many years ago and they both came from the same sect. More or less, they would have some relationship.
He really didn’t wish for this woman to die so early!
Once such a worry rose up in his mind, he laughed self-mockingly.
That’s right! With the Buddhist Faction protecting her, how could the demon girl die? She would most probably be safe.
Moreover, at this moment, he was using views of the past to look at the current time.
When Spiritual Energy was weak, Cultivators needed extremely firm foundations to pass their tribulation. Their cultivation speeds were also extremely slow.
However, when the Spiritual Wave was about to arrive, the slightly stronger ones could cross the Man, Earth and Heaven realms in just three to five years.
In this era, if there weren’t 10,000 there were at least three. It really wasn’t anything surprising.
It was much simpler to pass tribulations. In the past, one needed large amounts of accumulation to do so. In this era, one just needed a technique that was neutral and gentle and one that they had enough experience in. After they passed the tribulation, then they would accumulate and make up for their foundations.
The higher the realm, the more one would think. One would also have a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth Grand Daos.
Simply put, it was deciding between first taking and then paying or paying first then taking it.
The former had more hope for the future while the latter grasped powerful strength. It was hard to decide between the two…
Thinking about this, there was nothing to worry about Zhao Yanran facing the tribulation.
Zong Shou shook his head and then waved his sleeves to release the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle in his Lingjie Ring.
A month ago, he couldn’t do anything to this turtle. He didn’t believe that now, even with him at the Spirit Realm, there was still anything he could do.
This Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was still trapped in the thick layer of Xuan Ice, its pupils innocently looking outward.
The moment it adapted to this new environment, it started to use its nose to sniff within the ice layer.
In the end, its eye fixed on the corpse of the Xuanwu Giant Beast tens of thousands of feet away.
This beast was already dead and Daoling Vast Habitat Cultivators had all escaped.
The cultivators around felt threatened by Zong Shou and no one dared to touch it.
It just remained there, the corpse not rotting. A stone layer started to form on the outer shell, just like the broken tail left from the Spirit Salamander.
Looking at the corpse, the gaze of the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle became intense and an anxious look appeared on it.
Its four limbs stretched outward, but it was still unable to break the Xuan Ice.
At the same time, it tried to use its tooth to bite. However, exactly like a month ago there was nothing he could do about it.
In the end, it could only look toward Zong Shou with a begging expression.
Zong Shou took a look and he was tempted. Then, he laughed, “You want me to let you out?”
The Blue Fire Xuan Turtle wasn’t good at human speech, but understood his intent and nodded its head.
“That is possible!”
Zong Shou’s lip curled and then he laughed joyfully. A few drops of Essence Blood appeared in his hand, forming several seals.
“However, I am lacking a Protector Beast, so are you willing?”
The turtle pulled back its head like it was hesitating, but a moment later it nodded.
Only then did Zong Shou smile and rip out all the talismans.
A ball of black flame blazed and melted the 10,000 layers of colorless Xuan Ice around the turtle.
In just a moment, when the Xuan Ice was halfway melted, the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle was able to break the rest using its immense strength.
However, once it broke free, it stopped worrying about Zong Shou. 12 ice wings instantly appeared as it dashed toward the Xuanwu Beast Corpse like lightning.
However, the moment it got close and before it could do anything, it felt a huge pressure suppressing it.
